Vauxhall and I appreciation post
My oh my. Where do i start with this album?
For context, ive been listening to morrissey and exclusively morrissey everyday for 2 years straight now. I owe that to the smiths, but i wouldve never guessed just how much more id prefer morrissey's solo over the smiths. I know, I know its crazy but i do.
No album other than Vauxhall has made me giggle like an idiot, reminisce and get nostalgic, get excited and play air drums, made me sleepy, made me cry like a baby, ever before. I can not explain how much i resonate with this album its actually insane. Its the first album that changed my perception of music and how it can just unapologetically be.
I knew that people connected with music but i never knew the feeling until listening to this. I love this album so much that i have it on digital, cd, and cassette and im planning to buy a record player and a vinyl copy just so i can listen to it.
This man embodies everything that makes a man like me cry. The day he dies is the day i die and in my honest opinion one of the final hopes of music dies. I hate to think of a day where he wont be here and it makes me tear up. Im not somebody that cries a lot, ive never been a crier. ive only cried a handful of times in my entire life and this man makes up the cause for like 40% of them.
This is my favorite album ever, it is the first album i ever recommend to anybody and will always stay that way.
Proper shame we never got in session recordings and demos and etc for this album in the reissue, also id sell my left testicle for a high res remaster of this album..
